The poor little tykes learned a lesson in life - don’t go to the cash register and expect to walk away with unpaid goods.
If expecting people to pay for what they take makes me a dick, then I’m a dick and glad of it. Most of the stores in America are run by dicks, as are most of the businesses.
What things do you own that I can come take without paying for them?
These kids may or may not learn that lesson.
There is another lesson being taught in that lunchroom because a large group of kids who aren’t expected to pay at all.
There is no expectation from them - or their parents - that they should contribute one dime towards their food.
These kids will never have their lunches thrown away, nor will they ever be given only fruit and milk.
No phone calls home - no bill - no worries!
I wonder what those kids are thinking when their classmates get in trouble for falling behind.
These kids didnt learn anything. The transaction wasn’t theirs to handle. They just got the lunch like they did on the other days. The parents are supposed to pay, and the school is supposed to keep accurate track of this before the food is passed out.
I swear sometimes I think some people on our side just gets off on stuff like this, like the left loves when a kid’s lemonade stand gets shut down by some government hack.
